From what I could tell, the reason Tina had a different wedding dress than Laura to begin with was because they don't wear the same size. Why exactly get Tina another new one?
When is do you know when Felicia Finley's contract is up?
I don't think any contracts are up until next spring.

I believe they were all given year contracts, so it would be about March/April 2007.
I hope some of them do the tour.
hey guys, now since this is over 1,000 posts I am bound to ask a question that has probably already been asked but:
1. Why did they ever get rid of the song "Right on Time" - and where the hell can I get an MP3 of this song or is their any place to purchase it that I am not aware of?? I absolutly adore it. They should have fit this and Someday in the show. They are both excellent songs.
2. They have these little songs throughout the show..."One more alabama slama...." are these available for purchase like wtf! I totally love this show, why didn't they include these on the cd!! Their has to be an uncut cd that I don't know about right!!
And damnit, people need to start seeing this show, its fantastic. The only show where I get excited to see the understudies!!
Hey all. Just wondering how different the "kid friendly" Wed. matinee is...are there a lot of changes from a normal performance?
....the Wednesday matinee's are "kid friendly"? Well, that's news to my ears! I didn't know they were doing that, LOL.
Tuesday, 8/15:
Tina on for Laura (Maybe there's no need to keep mentioning that!)
Angelique Ilo on for Tracee Beazer, except in the wedding chapel scene where Eric Lajuan Summers played the fake Tina Turner.

Right On Time was only in the show for part of the previews in NY - I think less than two weeks, actually. I really liked Right on Time (though it seemed a bit dangerous, one night that I saw it from where I was sitting it looked like Laura got smacked in the face with a broom, though I think that was just because I was sitting so far to the right and she just didn't catch it, or something) but Someday works a lot better in the show and is better in terms of helping to define Julia's character. I know that Laura got to record both Wonder and Right on Time, but they're not out anywhere yet, which is unfortunate, because I'd love to have Right on Time. And as for the Wednesday matinees - they take out most of the bad language. Like Amy Spanger has to say "they're free, you jerk" instead of "they're free, jackass." Which is not as funny. Though personally, I don't see how the show could still be considered *that* child-friendly if you still have Felicia Finley rolling around onstage with very little on.

WHAT? LMAO. Oh my God, I am laughing SO MUCH right now.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but WS had souvenir programs now. They were available last night. . .did anyone pick one up?
OOOH. I am so buying one this weekend. I've been anxiously awaiting their arrival. .. That sounded lame but it's TRUE.
I wonder if the shops will have them - I don't want to have to buy a ticket to the show just to get a program....
I don't think you have to? Isn't the downstairs merch table like, RIGHT inside of the front doors? I'm sure if you explain you just want to buy some merch, they'd let you in without a problem... I don't know though.

On Wednesday's matinee the only real thing I saw changed was the cursing. It was almost non-existant which kind of ruined some of the show. In Somebody Kill Me Please..Stephen makes this weird noise that sounds like he will say f**king choke but like messes it up. My friend and I looked at each other and was like umm why did he just censor himself until we heard after it was the kid-friendly show. I guess it's good thing but I just don't see the point in changing it around one day a week.
FYI, last night they had people selling programs outside before the doors were opened.

I suppose it doesn't make much sense during the summer, but usually Wednesday mats are really big for school trips. It's understandable that they'd at least try to make it kid-friendly, Wedding Singer is definitely a kind of show that kids (not too young, of course) would be into, and the more school trips the better sales.
PROGRAMS! AH! Does anyone think they'll be available online?
I love "Right On Time"! I wish they released all those tracks that they cut. I don't have any of them. I want them on my iPod SO BAD.
Is the girl with golden hair in the program?

My friend just texted me. She was at the matinee- there was a board up for Tina (meaning they haven't changed the playbill) & Felicia was absent.
Did she get a program?
